What’s it like working with Rob?
“I wish he’d bathe once in a while…no I’m joking. I don’t know where all those rumors come from”

Other than Carlise, who else would you want to play in the Twilight Saga?

We’re all TV fans here, Zappers, but just how low would you go to get the attention of your favorite leading man?

Zap2it was on the scene in Vancouver at Creation Entertainment’s Salute to “Supernatural” on August 29, where stars of the CW’s horror show mingled with fans. Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki have always been vocal about thanking their considerably obsessed admirers.

“The fans of Supernatural’ are pretty cool. They’re not crazy ‘Twilight’ fans. They actually have some self-respect,” Ackles jokes. “I think we’re lucky in that aspect.”

Jensen may want to be extra-nice to those “Twilight” obssessors, because he’s likely to face their wrath when “Supernatural’s” latest vampire episode – titled “Live Free or Twi-Hard” airs this fall.

Though Ackles and Padalecki may not have reached Edward Cullen levels of adulation yet, they have had their fare share of disturbing fan experiences. “I’ve gotten some pretty interesting presents in the mail,” Ackles admits. He sighs. “God love them, my parents receive stuff.”

Addressing his fans, he says, “I’m sure none of you are, but — look. Don’t send my parents stuff. Especially spells. With, like… used underwear.”

Padalecki, always ready with a retort, pipes up, “I sent it anonymously though, and the underwear was just slightly used. Used sounds so bad. They were loved.”

For the most part, the guys say that their fan encounters have been pleasant. They credit “Supernatural” creator Eric Kripke for not selling out the show.

“This isn’t a show that’s out there to be famous or to elicit more response from certain demographics,” Padalecki says. “We have a very strong creator, and Kripke stayed true. We had offers from Coca-Cola who wanted to put stuff in the episodes, and he was like ‘No, I want to stay true to my story, true to my characters.’”

As much as we’re happy with the show’s lack of commercialization – give or take a few well-placed cell-phone GPS plugs – we wouldn’t mind seeing more of its stars. Padalecki says we shouldn’t hold our breath for that – he and Ackles aren’t interested in being commodities for the sake of ratings.

“You’re not going to see Jensen and Jared on the red carpet of some body spray,” he explains. “That way, people who are fans of us are fans of our work. They’re not like ‘Oh my god, I think I’ve seen you on the cover of something! Aren’t you famous or something?’ So the fans we meet say, ‘I dig your show, I dig your work,’ as opposed to… ‘Let me smell your used underwear.’”

Sure, the fight between Team Robsten and Team Nonsten has been raging on the boards (and Twitter too) since the beginning of time—or at least since Twilight—but now it’s time to really see which side has more support.

How so, you ask?

By taking it to Facebook, of course. This seems to be the reason the site was invented, after all. Who cares about keeping in touch with friends and family? It’s all about showing support for R.Pattz and K.Stew (or your lack of support, if you’re one of them).

So if you celebrated the joyous Robsten Day and almost passed out when they swapped spit on camera, get your mouse clicking and “Like!” the Team Robsten page. Spread the word too—not that I need to tell you all twice.

And if you’re one of those downers who think the duo is strictly a PR stunt, or one who would rather see Rob with Nikki Reed (or Reese Witherspoon?) or Kristen with Garret Hedlund, TomStu or—gag—Taylor Lautner, then stop bitchin’ and get your butt over to the Team Nonsten page.

See you on Facebook (you’ve been checking out my F.B. page for frequent goss, too, right?). Be sure to check back for the big celebration when Team Robsten slaughters pitiful Team Nonsten.

Pick Your Team on Facebook: Team Robsten or Team Nonsten

‘The Twilight Saga’ is currently the biggest book turned into a movie franchise in the world. And it’s got a lot of guys scratching their heads wondering why.

Millions of us have experienced firsthand the drooling, catatonic frenzy the women in our lives (from tweenies to grannys) fall into as soon as there is even the slightest mention of Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) or Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart.) Why?

According to a group of web satirists calling themselves Epipheo, it all comes down to a simple, but brilliant 3 step formula. One that has worked for centuries in literature and transitioned seamlessly into decades of cinema.

It goes something like this:

1. The female lead character is basically an empty shell.

2. The male lead represents everything women want in a man – multiplied by 10,000.

3. No one thinks it’s strange that the two are completely devoted to each other.

Thinking about it, the theory makes perfect sense. Ever heard of Wuthering Heights? Titanic? How about Mourning Becomes Electra? Well, skip that last one… unless you watch it alone… and have, like 8 hours to kill.

Seriously though, we should be thankful that this theory has come to light. Now we know how to write the next blockbuster novel that becomes a worldwide movie franchise phenomenon.

btw, the theory addresses the Twilight novels. But it holds true for the movies as well. After all…

One picture is worth a thousand words…

Have a look and see for yourself:

So, within this particular H-O-T fandom, when Rob appears on a show such as the Teen Choice Awards and loses several categories to Taylor Lautner, I don’t stress, it’s to be expected. IT IS THE TEEN CHOICE AWARDS! I’m not a teen, Rob is not a teen, but Taylor Lautner (age 18) is a teen. He should win over that audience.

Rob is a man (my personal tangent). He’s 24. HE’S A FULL GROWN MAN! So, do I feel guilty ogling pictures of him, no, I don’t. Do I think I’m going to meet Rob and he’s going to fall in love with me, no, I don’t. Do I like to picture my fanfic Edwards as Rob and make them do what I want, yes, I do. But, that’s just me. So, somewhere in here is a line and I don’t think I’ve crossed it…yet, at least.

**Last minute note: Robert Pattinson loses EW’s Sexiest Beast title to Ian Somerhalder – only important because Ian is – drum roll please – 30 years old. Who knew and yet he plays a teenager on TV. So, see even our inner fangirls recognize when it’s appropriate to crush on someone or not (Yes to crushing on Robert because he’s an adult and funny and real, rugged, yet handsome / Yes to crushing on Taylor (he’s legal now) if you’re into that young stud kind of thing).**

YES, you might need earmuffs for this episode of as the “fan junket turns.” Stephenie Meyer uses the word brat, flawed, and Edward in the same sentence!!! Kim and I almost fell off the chair. But Stephenie confesses that she still likes Eddie. *wipes sweat from brow* She likes him so much that it was hard for her write him going away in ‘New Moon.’

Transcript
TST: With your characters — do they run the show or do you run the show?

SM: This is something I’ve learned. People think you’re crazy when you tell the truth on this question. But, writers don’t think you’re crazy, because they understand. The characters run the show. Because once you create a character, it’s who they are. Sure, there are certain things they can’t do. Certain things they can’t say; it’s not in character. I had that problem with Edward a lot. In the beginning he was a really, a very strong character. New Moon came about because of his character. I did not want to write him going away, that was not very much fun, but if he hadn’t done that, how could he say he tried everything? He didn’t try everything to save her, if he hadn’t gone away. So that whole book revolved around his (Edward’s) iron nature that he had, that I could not get around. I could not just make him…he was so loathed to destroy her life. There was no way that he was gonna “okay, you’re right. We’ll just hang out.” He’s also such a know-it-all. Bella’s trying to tell him “look, this is something different than we think it is” and he’s “no, I know better….I’m a 110.” He’s kind-of a brat sometimes. It’s so funny when people think I have constructed (in a negative way) my idea of the perfect man and how flawless he is. No, he’s very flawed. I’m well aware of that. And he’s lived in this world where rules don’t apply to him. He does stuff that is over the line for a human person. But he is a vampire and can fool a lot of people. So going into someone’s room at night isn’t that bad, in comparison. And the rules don’t apply to him; he does all kinds of really shallow stuff. But I still like him.

UPDATE THURSDAY, AUGUST 26:

Box office numbers are in for Wednesday, August 25. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse took in another $71,270 from 557 locations for a per theater average of $128, representing a decrease of 5.5% from Tuesday. This adds up to a cumulative domestic total of $297,439,330 after 57 days in release. Adding in overseas returns of $380.6M gives Eclipse a current worldwide total of $678,039,330.

For those comparing the films in The Twilight Saga, at this point in its release history (after 57 days) New Moon had taken in $291,550,109. Eclipse is now at $297,439,330. Both films hit the $250M mark on the 16th day. The total domestic gross for New Moon was $296,623,634 (after 132 days). Eclipse has now broken that total by $816,696 (after 57 days). The film is now within striking distance of the elusive $300M mark. It needs about $2.56M to get to that number. It took New Moon 22 more days to earn an additional $2.56M after its 57th day, and Eclipse is clearly doing better. On the other hand, New Moon was still in 1,167 theaters after 56 days while Eclipse is in 557 locations. Still, even after New Moon’s theater count had dropped to 444 (after 63 days) it still went on to take in another $3.8M. Therefore, it should take no more than one more month for Eclipse to earn another $2.6M and pass $300M.

Now wouldn’t be a bad time to start planning for your DVD release parties. The street dates for Twilight and New Moon were both on day 121 of their theatrical runs (Saturdays). Following that line of thinking, Eclipse’s 121st day will be October 28th, a Thursday. The following Saturday would be October 30th — Halloween weekend. On the other hand, sources have told me that Summit is planning for a holiday season release — some say November while others say Christmas time.

Keeping track of records, the film with the least number of days to reach $250M was The Dark Knight, which hit $261,847,503 after eight days. New Moon is in 13th place, having taken 16 days to reach $251,530,186. Eclipse lands just behind it in 14th place, taking 16 days to reach $251,371,417. This puts the film ahead of Shrek the Third, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, and Iron Man 2, which all took 17 days to hit $250M.

So far, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has set all-time box office records for Opening Wednesdays, Single Day Wednesday Gross (non-adjusted), and Single Day Wednesday Gross (adjusted for inflation). It is in second place for Opening Day Gross, Single Day Gross, and Non-Opening Thursday Gross. Release records include Widest Releases, Widest Independent Releases, Widest Opening Independent Releases, Widest PG-13 Rated Openings, and Widest PG-13 Rated Releases.

There’s been quite a bit of discussion online regarding the film’s box office success. In particular, I wonder about the fairness of comparing the Twilight films against each other. Despite the fact that Eclipse has now passed New Moon in domestic totals, the validity of judging one against the other is questionable given their strikingly different release schedules. As I’ve been saying since it opened, the idea was not to compete against or beat New Moon’s early numbers. That may be a goal of some people but the idea is to make money, and maybe set some records in the process.

First, remember that the film’s opening weekend started on a Wednesday. There is no way that a “weekend” that begins on a Wednesday can be compared to a “normal” 3-day weekend (when New Moon opened). So any comparison between the two based on how many “weekends” it’s been out simply isn’t valid. Next, look at the time of year the two films were released. New Moon came out during the Thanksgiving-Christmas holiday season. It’s a big time of year for Hollywood but still doesn’t compare to summer, when they put out their “tentpole” films — the potential blockbusters that will keep the studios in the black for another year. The competition is much more fierce beginning Memorial Day weekend through the 4th of July. It’s simply a different marketplace.

Is Summit happy with the film’s box office returns? I don’t know but I’m fairly sure they must be. Again, the goal was not to “beat New Moon.” That may be something the press or some others will latch on to but it may not be a fair comparison. It was very easy to compare Twilight to New Moon since they opened at the same time one year apart. Not so much New Moon to Eclipse. I think it’s wise to judge the film on its own merits a box office success, with DVDs and more to follow.
